SELL WELL!

SELL WELL!
By Matthew W Davis

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A bored Billionaire and his eccentric daughter hire a former Child Star to be the new Host for their oddly successful infomercial company, assisted by their marginally adequate staff, and an irritating stagemother.

SYNOPSIS:

SELL WELL! is a 30 minute sitcom in the tradition and tone of Workplace Comedies such as The Office and 30 Rock. In this series, we follow the daily antics of the “creative” team who produces infomercials for obtuse gadgets and clients.

Each episode of SELL WELL! finds self-conscious Ralph Bacon, reluctantly Hosting Infomercials using his flagging notoriety as former Child Star, “Ralphie the Fat Sidekick from those pirate movies with the goat.” In truth, Billionaire, Maxwell De Beers, has secretly hired Ralph to be a mentor and life coach for his odd daughter, Olivia De Beers, to postpone her from spending daddy’s money making amazingly terrible films. Meanwhile, Ralph’s British ExPat stage mother, Eunice, employs her barbed tongue to pierce all but the most bulletproofed egos. The Copywriter, Hermes, flirts with being interesting by attempting something that seems awesome, but in retrospect is either misguided or deadly. The Hippie Cowboy Editor, Randy Funk, imparts his own brand of advice to all who seek it, while the Receptionist Du Jour finds a perfectly acceptable reason to quit this madhouse, only to be replaced by another Receptionist the following episode.
